"Tragedy of the anticommons" reading

Something useful from Slashdot for a change: 

The New Yorker has a short article on how restrictive handling of patents (in this case) stifles innovation and social welfare. If you like things more scientific, there's an "experimental investigation of anticommons dilemma", showing what happens when everyone insists on monopolising their little idea.

And there's also a new book down this road that looks interesting: Michael Heller, "The Gridlock Economy".

A word of warning...

...which probably comes too late for most or all of you. This is pretty much how it happened to me.
